Abid, a resident of Dayalpur, and Mohd Shahdab and Rashid Saifi, both from Nehru Vihar, were arrested by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police on Tuesday, they said.
They were with Hussain on February 24 during the violence in the district, the police said. The Crime Branch on Monday arrested Hussain’s brother Shah Alam in connection with the riots. Three other people, who were sheltering Alam, were also arrested.
Hussain was arrested by Delhi Police last week after a court here dismissed his plea seeking to surrender before it in connection with the killing of Intelligence Bureau (IB) official Ankit Sharma during the violence over the new citizenship law.
